We're adapting to life with 2 under 2 - overall it's been manageable but some days are definitely harder than others.<br /> @birdofafeather: I was so in the zone that it definitely felt much longer. I can remember all of those intense minutes very vividly which I guess made them seem to stretch out.<br /> @MoonMoon: Thanks! First time took about 12h - but it was different, she was sunny side up and I had an epidural due to a blood pressure spike.<br /> @sorrycharlie: The nurses lol'd, too when I exclaimed what huge balls my son had! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-long-winded-version-of-my-very-quick-labor#post-1725763 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 21:58:05 +0000 Running Elley 1725763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's so precious!!
